Laura: “Tummy be Damned!” | Shannon Hemauer Photography
Laura is a quick-to-laugh mother of two who wanted to do a boudoir session for her husband. Below I’ve included Laura’s testimonial throughout the blog. What a wonderful experience from beginning to end! I felt so comfortable with Shannon from the moment I met her. She welcomed me into her home and just sat and got to know me. I decided she was the photographer I wanted to do my shoot. She calmed my anxieties and assured me I would have a wonderful experience: which I did! I had so much fun picking out outfits and even chose some out of my comfort zone. I am self conscious of my belly and as a larger woman, tend to keep it covered. But the experience was making me brave and I decided to go for the outfits that I liked, tummy be damned. The photo shoot was amazing. It was so much fun to have my makeup and hair done by a professional. Shannon, her assistant [Dianna], and makeup artist [Nath] were all so friendly and fun, it was like hanging out with friends. They made me feel at ease and before I knew it, it was over. When I picked up my pictures, I was so happy. They were beautiful and made me feel beautiful. I really encourage every women to try this at least once. You won’t be sorry. Have you been wanting to do your own boudoir or contemporary glamour portrait session with me? Well, first, YA!, and secondly do not wait to scheduled your consult–as I write this, I’m booked solid six months out! Contact me today! As always, a big thank you to my lead stylist, Nath Kreider, for doing a lovely job on Laura’s hair and makeup, and thank you to my assistant, Dianna, for

Blue-Eyed Jess’s Client Interview | Shannon Hemauer Photography
Here is a fun fact: I’ve had more clients named “Jess/Jessica” than any other name! This fact really doesn’t mean anything—I just enjoying looking at these sort of things… Anyway…onto Jess’s client interview… Jess contacted me because she wanted to do something fun for her husband. But she also wanted to do this for herself! All of the images from her session are taken at the new Carlisle studio! The “Wall of Me,” as Jess lovingly calls her Reveal Wall in her Client Interview, is how I show all of my clients their portraits if their reveal is at the Carlisle Studio. There is something truly magical walking up the staircase to the studio, rounding the corner, and coming face-to-face with your matted portraits displayed so grandeur! Please read on to see her images and her response to my questions. How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir/contemporary glamour session and what made you decide now was the time to do one? I have actually wanted to do a boudoir session for a really long time. After two kids and being married for 6 years I just said now was the time. I wanted to do something for me mostly but for him too. What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir/contemporary glamour session? I saw a post from her on Facebook and I looked through her page and messaged her to get some info. We had a phone conversation to go over everything, if I had any questions and Shannon made me feel comfortable just over the conversation. I felt like she would understand what I wanted and what I wanted to cover up to make me happy. What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the
Nath | Shannon Hemauer Photography
Nath (pronounced “Knot”), my lead stylist since 2014, recently married her sweetheart and as my wedding present to her, I gifted a bridal boudoir session. <3 (You’re welcome, Nath’s husband! 😉 ) She, of course, did her own hair/makeup, plus she brought a beautiful vintage chair with tuffed-gold fabric to use as a prop. I keep trying to get her to let me buy the chair from her—it would be perfect for the new studio! But, alas, she will not part from it. Nath is a shoe gal, so I totally expected her to have a great pair of heels—she did not disappoint! And she has spent the last year working out hard with a personal trainer in order to get in top shape for her wedding day, and all of her hard work shows in her boudoir portraits!! Such a beautiful bride! Nath planned her entire outfit around the necklace she’s wearing in this next image. I wish Nath and Jake a lifetime of joy together!
